2014 Fleet Service Discussion

[700UW]

In LAS we have PHX people that have been here over a year and are P##### off that US people are working our stuff. Is this one of those back room deals done behind closed doors? Whats going on here??

US is not working AA flights in LAS or PHX a this point in time, they are going to in PHX.

that will put those outsourced stations over the 20 flight threshold and the TWU should start it's drive to get those stations restaffed.

20 mainline flights a day is that the current TWU ramp scope for them to get the work. Not very good scope

Ok I've caught up on this forum and it gets boring reading Adults bashing each other like kids !
I'm in the same station as ograc which is a great shop steward !
I would like to see the IAM us the same campaign as did US/AA did when the DOJ had the merger tied up in court!
Have every member call/write you senators and congressman/congresswoman to put pressure on the DOL to either release US or get the talks to start moving swiftly!
Just my 2 cents.

 

[cltrat]

Exactly.
 
Dunno who's behind that website, but they need to knock it off...

I totally agree Kev and Chock, what is really sad is if they dig out that kind of dirt on one side it's hard not to believe there isn't similar dirt on the other side.

But yet they wonder why there is apathy in the membership when they should be surprised there isn't more disgust.

Rook,
 
There are those here that perpetuate this infighting (bashing) simply to discredit the union leadership. These same individuals know full well that it sends a message of weakness back to the company. There is little wonder the company has stalled along with the help of a mediator in 6 talks.
 
These same individuals claim they are doing this to strengthen Feet... I’m under the impression it’s to advance their personal political agenda and/or to benefit the company!
 
There are a handful of posters here that are legit... Ograc... Solidarity... Mike33... Necigrad... Charlie Brown... Perez... and 700U... to name a few. I read their posts religiously-- the rest-- I skip over, or place on ignore!

If it were an ani-Delany site... you would be re-posting the link, and spewing your curt one-liners for days!

 

[700UW]

There is dirt being slung on both sides, check out IAM Reform.
 
Both sides are guilty of mud slinging.

no I wouldn't but I won't be here kissing his ass and claiming everything IAM is infallible.
you're nothing more than a puppet

I think when folks go with dirt, that everyone has personal dirt.  It's always better to focus on the actual performance that a candidate has done as opposed to if someone has an alleged drinking problem, criminal record, drugs, greed, etc. Can't speak for the INTL election as it will probably get nasty, but nothing on the www.unifiedforchange.org website has attacked folks below the belt.

Politics at the Int'l level is mute to the average fleet guy. All he wants is a raise and contract that will protect his future. The district level is more of a concern to him.
Name calling and telling how it is , exposes some of the liars that lay in wait for the six figure job and expense account. This forum contains the opinions of about 10 t0 12 ramp agents.

I agree. Roughly about 12 ramp guys.  But the audience packs the stands. And that's who we are speaking to. I couldn't change CB's stance as he endorsed the United TA, and he couldn't change my stance that stood against it.  But the audience will sort it all out.

John.... be careful what you wish for. All they are going to say is " Are you employed?" end of story. They could give a rats A**

You may be surprised at how many guest read this site. I know of 12-15 but don't post and only 2 are in my station. That tells me that a lot of people are paying attn. They are getting an education. The one question i get asked the most is " How can the AA guys make more $$ than us when we are not in BK?. 
Go figure.
